‘Red Dwarf- Animated’…New Online Series

[karcreat]

Greetings, All!

Wanted to let you all know, we have our RIMMER!…;)

Benjamin Rudman, a talented voice actor, won the role…you can hear his read of Rimmer on our ‘Audio/Video’ page on the RDA site, along with some B&W early test animation assembled by Pete…let us know what you think!

Thanks!

It’s a doorway into your mind…. quite nice to hear my little contribution come to life actually. If you want to use my Tiresias script I can send it your way, but it’s a big undertaking… it’s probably about 40 minutes long.

I think your Lister is too droll (no offence). I could probably provide you with a Lister and/or Cat if you wanted, but your current Cat is pretty spot on anyway.

[karcreat]

Thanks…;)

RE, your ‘Tiresias’ script…any way you could trim it down to 23 min or so? If not, it might make a cool ‘two parter’…not sure how Pete would feel about it he’s in charge of scripts and story development, etc…best to email him and ask…

peteleggett@talktalk.net

Pete is also doing the voice for Lister, but we are open to the possibility of a better version…send him an audio audition (MP3 or WAV) reading some of the lines from the script, we would love to hear it…and I’m happy you liked my attempt at Cat…;)

Well, here it is. Don’t be too harsh on me, it’s just something I knocked up over the course of two evenings for my own amusement. It’s only a first draft anyway so could probably do with an edit or two (to put it mildly) and a rethink here and there. These are just the bare unedited bones. Be interested to know what people think of it though.

Man we?d never be harsh. I?m looking forward to reading it. Cheers Mate

What did I think?

I LOVED it.

It was intelligent, funny and dramatic…felt VERY ‘Red Dwarf’ to me, especially the great ending sequence (always important in RD to end with a memorable last scene, I think)

VERY true to the characters, and very involving…I literally could not stop reading, wanting to see what happens next. WELL DONE!

We need to get Pete’s input on it, he is the script director/editor…but even if we don’t use this particular story (which I would like to be able to figure a way to do), I would love to have you submit a few write ups based on the concept outlines we have posted on the website, under ‘Episodes & Outlines’…would you be interested?

Thanks!
K

[Carlito]

Cheers for the feedback… glad you liked it, it’s hard to have any kind of objective opinion about something you wrote yourself so you become reliant on other people to react to it to know whether it’s, pardon the expression, even worth a wank. Even if it’s just something you do for your own fun. (The writing… not the wank. Although that works.)

I’d be happy to have a bash at some of your ideas, and churn out some (considerably shorter) scripts when I have a bit of time… which is rare at the moment but should find a bit of time one evening this week to have a pop.

Please remove the link for this script?Its too good to put out spoilers,. I will email with my thoughts shortly

Thank You

P

[Carlito]

hmmm for some reason i’m unable to edit

[Carlito]

I would remove it but for some reason the “edit” option is missing from that post. All others are fine but that one. Very strange.

[karcreat]

Interesting…and odd!…;)

The only suggestion I have would be to remove or delete the actual page the link goes to?

That, or maybe upload a text file there instead that says something like ‘coming soon’?…;)

I agree with Pete, its too good to spoil for the fans…

K

[lego7770]

Carl. email sent…..I dont think I’v been too harsh :)

P

[Carlito]

E-mail received. Cheers for the feedback, glad you liked it, looking forward to seeing it in animated form.

And my Lister audition will be with you soon too…

[lego7770]

Nice one. look forward to hearing it

P

[karcreat]

Hey, do you have any preconceived imagery in mind as far as the characters go, etc?

I wanted to do some character designs for the storyline, wanted your takes on it all first…if you could, please email me a copy of the script and your thoughts (we want to show at least one scene from your story in the opening credits for series one)…

kkarstens@cableone.net

Thanks!
K

[lego7770]

There is a reason for him being droll in the opening scene. But he does perk up when he sees the pod

But I honestly welcome anyone who would like to audition for Lister.

And I?m really looking forward to reading Carl?s script. As a two parter sounds like a good idea to me, maybe to end the first series with.

P

[fullmetalraz]

Would love to guest voice in this, closest main cast character i can do is Kryten and its not even that good and the roles been taken lol

But seriously i’m really looking forward to this series and i hope it takes off, how awesome would it be if it got noticed by DNP?

[karcreat]

How awesome, you ask?

INCREDIBLY, AMAZINGLY, SMEGTASTICLY, that’s how awesome!!!…;)

Seriously tho…

Yeah, that would be pretty sweet…;)

K

[lego7770]

How awesome ?

[Jawscvmcdia]

Yeah, I’m still sorting that out, btw.

[lego7770]

I?ll look forward to seeing what you have planned there. Keep me up to date

[karcreat]

Just added new ‘NEWS’ updates, sketchwork to the site…let us know what you think, your feedback is important and appreciated, you smeggers…;)

K

[lego7770]

This stuff is excellent lads, first time I?ve seen some of it

[karcreat]

First time you’ve seen some of it??

Was there stuff I didnt email you? (if so, my apologies, man!)

K

[karcreat]

Hey All…

Final version of the Series One opening credits (with some touch ups and new sequences of animation) is up and ready for your opinions…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1Hz4JF4E6c

Let us know what ya think!

Thanks…

K

[lego7770]

WOW

[TheLeen]

The Star Trek Rimmer excites me.

[karcreat]

Hey, I’m excited you’re excited…;)

[peas_and_corn]

I’m guessing they’re clips from episodes- in which case there are a few parts that look really interesting to see what’s going on…

[karcreat]

You are correct…;)

They are episodes we plan to do for Series One.

You can read the descriptions of all of them here…

http://www.karcreat.com/RDAnimatedEpisodes.html

Let us know what you think of the proposed stories, we really want to get feedback from the fans!

Thanks in Advance…

Looks good, a few things look interesting. Not too sure about the Lister voice. As Seb said, just because you have a scouse accent doesn’t mean it’s good. It has potential, just needs bit more enthusiasm. Cat and Kryten are very good tho.

The pace seems a bit slow to me, but it’s bit hard to judge from the first scene alone.

Noticed that there is some competition heading your way too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZVbWS2G5aM

Good luck with it tho, sure it will be good. Why Duff Beer tho?

[TheLeen]

The more the merrier!

[lego7770]

We noticed that weeks ago :)

That?s why we brought those lads on board too

P

[lego7770]

I just thought that Duff Beer would fit in well in the Tooniverse :)

P

[Seb Patrick]

… but what was wrong with Leopard Lager?

[lego7770]

I couldn?t find any images until now. Look at the price of this http://www.propstore.com/product-JMC-Leopard-Lager-Beer-Can.htm

[Carlito]

I’ve contributed a script called ‘Tiresias’ to this project (and working on a couple of others too at the moment) and these guys Pete and Kev have been a complete pleasure to work with. Some of the animation and original character models from the script have been fantastic… talented fuckers! very high hopes for this project and very much looking forward to watching full episodes, and also seeing my words come to life in a couple of episodes as well! (which will probably be quite a surreal feeling…)

[lego7770]

Hay Carl. Thanks for the nice comments, believe me we have searched everywhere to find a writer as talented as you. I think that we are the lucky ones to have you on board. I think we all make a fantastic team

P

[karcreat]

We just added some test footage of Lister speaking, (lines from upcoming ep, ‘Tiresias’) decided to animated the mouths/chins more…I think it looks MILES better, let us know what you think…;)

an important message from holly

[Carlito]

Ben’s Holly impersonation is bloody top notch!

[TheLeen]

Oh, very good.

[lego7770]

Some Fantastic News http://www.karcreat.com/RDAnimatedNews.html

[Carlito]

Very cool of him to take the time to send a personal response. I’d wager most people in similar positions wouldn’t.

[Seb Patrick]

Peter Ridsdale-Scott being a complete and utter legend, there. Quelle surprise.

[Dave]

Well, you see, the shuttle was late, the shuttle was late and they’re usually so good, they’re so good, aren’t they?

[Carlito]

Does anyone here know what font was used in the early Red Dwarf episodes (series 1/2) for episode titles, credits etc?

[Carlito]

Is it “Microgramma”?

[Andrew]

In bold, yeah – or, at least, that’s the approximation we’ve been using since that kind of info’s not been recorded.

I was so pleased to see the same font ALL OVER the movie Moon.

[Carlito]

Quite a popular font for space-y, sci fi-ish stuff, ey?
